A Sighting! Yesterday, Tuesday 14th October in Reading, Berkshire (about 30 miles west of London), I saw the Moz strolling down the main drag - Broad Street! Don't think me mad cos he's been here before at a recording studio just nearby. It's called Outside Studios where he recorded some late 80's stuff including Ouija Board, Ouija Board. I'm still trembling with excitement and I'm 39 years old!

  • Ah, Ouija Board. Getting back to the Stephen Street inspired material.

    Might we hear some new tracks with piano or keyboards playing a prominent role?

    Excellent!

    There is a light that never goes out...
  • What was he wearing? Did he seem happy? How did you refrain from running up to him and throwing yourself at his feet? Are you one of those people with "pride"? Pft!

  • Fantastic that he's recording his album in the UK and not LA. Back here, recording during the cold and dark winter months. Bodes well for the album tracks - back to his best!

  • Of all the recording studios
    of all the towns
    of all the countries
    and he goes to Reading...

    maybe it's the 'Reading Gaol' influence and wilde's ballad of... then...?

    Victoria, can you make me a cuppa please? Muchos gracias my darling.
  • Was looking for info on Outside Studios and found out that The Cure recorded one of their albums ("Disintegration") there.

    Enemies using the same war room -- interesting.

  • They're at Hook End Manor. Same place used for Vauxhall, Southpaw and Maladjusted.

      • Outside IS Hook End (Score:2, Informative)

        Hook End Manor was called Outside when it was owned by Langer & Winstanley.

        Now it's owned by Trevor Horn and is called Sarm Hook End. For info - www.sarmstudios.com - where you will find address (to stalk) and phone and fax numbers to pester.

        I almost feel sorry for Morrissey - rumbled! Then again it is his favourite studio where he recorded Kill Uncle and nearly everything since Vauxhall & I onwards (Southpaw and Maladjusted included).

        That's Hook End Manor in the video for Ouija Board too....

  • I live in Reading, Pennsylvania, United States, and fondly remember my teenage days strolling our very own "Berkshire Mall," popping into record stores looking for the latest Smiths and Morrissey releases. I attended Exeter High School, and at one point lived on Wellington Boulevard. Well we know who settled this area of Southeastern Pennsylvania back in the day. It's a damn shame the Pennsylvnia Dutch (Germans) finally got the turf. Now we're burdened with such eyesores as "Knoblauch Bank" (Knoblauch = "garlic" in German)

  • "It has recently undergone massive refurbishment with the control room and studio being tastefully re-decorated and one of the UK's largest J Series console - 96 channel frame with 80 modules fitted - takes pride of place.

    There's nothing missing in the racks and the studio's got stacks of analogue and digital multi-tracks. But that's enough about gadgets, what makes the studio special to work in is the huge amount of space, both the control room and studio areas are vast.

    There is no doubt, the technical and acoustic specs are among the best in the world plus additional support from SARM's other top London studios guarantee the sessions will go like clock-work.

    If space is what you want, this place has got it. If you are in to nature, the huge grounds feature one of the largest monkey puzzle trees in the UK and the gardens are right out of a feature film. If horse riding is your thing, talk with Lola, the studio manager, she'll sort you out! Keep fit in the gym or go for a swim in the covered pool.

    Best of all, the accommodation is simply superb. Take your choice from a wide range of original rooms, some designed by Dave Gilmour (Pink Floyd- a previous owner). Our favorite is the World War II vibe room, no doubt influenced by Roger Waters. There are numerous relaxation rooms where the mega star can entertain in suitable style.

    The food is excellent and the staff are top rate. All in all, you couldn't hire a decent top hotel suite in London for the same money - and you get one of the world's top studios thrown in too. We're blown away and you will be too!

    We are setting up a video tour with an exclusive guest introduction next month, so check back soon to watch what promises to be our best feature yet!"

  • Good to hear he's back in England where he belongs! Looking forward to hearing his new work.

    Lucky x

  • Well then, if he's using the same studio, let's hope he can rise to the same heights as on Ouija Board, Ouija Board!

  • Hey, this is the most interesting international news out of Reading since the Viagra Kids:
    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20031023/od_uk_nm/oukoe_odd_br itain_viagra_2 [yahoo.com]

    It is very much like Morrissey-inspired novel "The Wrong Boy"

  • Come on. We haven't had anything for nearly a week! There must be ne song titles to leak, more sightings of Moz and the band in and around Reading. My addiction needs to be satiated!

  • Well,its just goes to show what effects
    Morrissey has on some people.
    I guess weak at the knees and hot and cold
    temperatures are the order of the day. Poetry
    and attitude can make a powerful contribution
    to hysteria. Still I would love to see him, myself. I think hes wonderful. Lucky you.

  • I heard a rumour from a reliable source at a small studio that the Moz is working with Techno/Goth newcomer Mordichai. If it's true, should make for an interesting work of art.
    If anyone knows anything about this, please reply!
    Thanks & God Bless!
